Vietnam Protest 1973

It isn't too well known, but in June 1973, John and Yoko went to Washington D.C. and participated in a protest against the Vietnam War (which was still going on). They also watched some of the Watergate hearings while they were there. As far as I know, this was the last time John and Yoko were seen together in public before their separation. Here is a photo I recently found of John and Yoko in D.C. with a woman named Kay Camp.

Yes that link has the wrong date and event. The date I got came from a new article where John and Yoko are wearing the same hats (just without the woman, Kay) and says how they are at a protest prior to the Watergate hearings. Their clothing and hair match the Watergate photos as well.

Welcome Beatle fans!

This blog is to highlight photos and stories of people who have met the Beatles in person. And while fan taken photos are my favorite, I also like to include vintage fan photos and other photos that show the Beatles meeting fans.

The idea behind this blog is to follow in the footsteps of the great Beatle fanzines of the 1970's & 1980's such as The Write Thing, The Harrison Alliance, With a Little Help from my Friends, Paperback Writer, etc etc. Photos and article from those publications and others are reproduced here to preserve the history of the fans who met one or more Beatle in person.

If you have ever met one of the Beatles and have a story or pictures to share, please contact me, Sara, at Starshyne9@yahoo.com.

I love fan photos. These photos are from my collection, which spans 20 years of online photo collecting and scanning books. I do not claim any copyright on most of these photos or stories. Some of them are sent to me and published with permission. Others are scanned from magazines, books and found in various places online. I do not watermark photos that I place on this blog because I do not own any of the photos. These photos are on this blog in an attempt to preserve the history of the Beatles. If you own the rights to a photo and wish to have it removed from this blog, please contact me.
